I picked up the Better Homes and Gardens Christmas Cookies Publication and right there on page 6 were the Decorator Bottle Set! They called it a "Decorator's Dream"!!!!
 
Great, just more people wanting something I can't sell..lol.
 
I'm noticing they are "plugging" alot these days. Batter bowl on Grey's, silicone pan cupcakes on brothers and sister last night, should I keep going?
The one thing I don't understand is the non pc advertisment. It makes sense when the name is mentioned but I don't understand all the unmentioned plugs.
 
Exactly, especially when there are SO many products out there that look alike and if people aren't familiar with us they have no idea it's a PC product. What good is it doing us?
 
I believe HO said they did not know they were being reviewd by better home and gardens.
 
In the note from HO about the stop sell, they said that they had just found out that BH&G was including the Dec Bottle Set in a review.

There are lots of times that products from home party companies are included on TV without mention. A lot of it depends on the personal preferences of the set-dressers. "Everybody Loves Raymond" used a lot of Longaberger baskets. The more people become aware of our product line, the more likely it is to show up someplace unannounced.

The set-dressers also use products that look like the high quality products. And so do stores. For the longest time I thought that Bob Evans had Longaberger baskets all over their stores - at closer look they're a knock-off.

I looked for this at Walmart this weekend but did not see it.
